Pre-Purchase Boat Inspections: Buy with Confidence, Not Regr

 I don't just look at the engine—I evaluate the entire package. My comprehensive pre-purchase inspection covers all critical areas: 

•  Outboard Engine Health: Full mechanical check, cooling system review, and cylinder compression testing to verify internal engine health.
• Fuel System Inspection: Checking the integrity of fuel tanks, lines, filters, and selector valves to prevent fuel-delivery issues.
• Electrical & Battery Systems: Testing battery voltage, terminal corrosion, and verifying the operation of pumps, switches, and navigation lights.
• Structural & Trailer Safety: A practical evaluation of the hull, transom strength, and essential trailer components (tires, bearings, and frame).
• Detailed Inspection Report: You’ll receive a complete written summary of my findings, paired with photos of any areas of concern, giving you powerful negotiating leverage.

I offer competitive, flat-rate pricing based on the size of the vessel. I travel directly to the seller's driveway, dealership, or marina.

• Most Boats (18–25 ft): $275 – $375
• Larger Vessels or Specialized Inspections: Contact me for a custom quote.

 I am a professional mobile marine mechanic, not a certified marine surveyor. I do not provide official surveys for insurance valuation or bank financing. Instead, I offer a practical, experienced mechanic’s "real-world" review focused purely on mechanical reliability, structural safety, and identifying common used-boat issues. This is the ultimate second opinion before you buy.
